I can't say anything else, it's about two words, Mandarin Duck has served Jia's mother since she was a child, because she is smart and virtuous, she loves her, so that everyone says that Jia's mother can't even eat without her, this kind of perfect evaluation, looking at Rongning Erfu, I am afraid that no one can compare. The mandarin duck in Jia's mother's own eyes is even more: although she is old, she is fortunate to be careful; Knowing, and steady; Both observant and good at speaking. You can't change it for a pearl man.

According to Xue Pan's previous temperament, especially when dealing with Sister Feng's husband and wife, he will inevitably put forward requirements and conditions, Mandarin Duck is so sincere, Xue Pan is embarrassed to mention any conditions, speaking of which, the one who can influence Jia's mother the most, that is, Mandarin Duck, the partial Mandarin Duck will not make random ideas and will not speak rashly, so as long as she speaks, it is almost the same, there is no reason for Jia's mother not to nod and agree, which originally had a lot to do with what Xue Pan wanted, but this time it can't be said, if it is a person's affection, he will have to exchange it for profit, even if the mandarin duck agrees, Xue Pan will look down on himself.

But there is no need to mention the conditions, but the rest of the things are to be made clear, "The old lady values me, naturally it is my honor, but some things have to be made clear first, the old lady will not feel distressed at this time, but in the future, I am afraid that it will be distressed, my classmate, Jin Ning, the son of Ping Dongbo, used to be at home, Ping Dongbo strictly disciplined, and rumors spread outside, saying that this non-biological son is ruthless, and there are many things to say, not to mention that I am a cousin, and there is an old lady who is serious, I'll tell you the truth, without the old lady's order, you can't control Baoyu. ”

The mandarin duck is smart and knows poetry and books, "I know what the uncle means, what he said is that he is afraid that the three of them will become tigers in the future, right?" ”

"That's right," Xue Pan said with a smile, this is also the meaning of preventing the slightest, "I don't feel distressed now, and I can't guarantee that I won't be distressed in the future, so ah, this still has to be made clear." ”

Mandarin ducks can't, now is the time to rely on Xue Pan, Xue Pan didn't let go at this time, he couldn't say that he had to promise Xue Pan something to be able to pass, "Uncle is really, okay, uncle just teach, if there is anything difficult, you told me, I will also cover the old lady, how about it?" ”

This is a bit of a decent word, Xue Pan nodded, and said with a smile, "It's enough to have Sister Mandarin Duck." ”

Xue Pan sent the mandarin duck away, returned to the outer study to sit idly, and disposed of a few business matters, the rest were also ordinary, but it was a little hindered that the salt on the northwest road caused the sale.

Originally, according to the salt guide marketed in the northwest by Xue Pan in the Lianghuai Salt Transport Yamen, it was unimpeded to any place under the jurisdiction of the Dayue Dynasty in the northwest, but according to the report of the steward responsible for the salt introduction, there was an unknown tribe of Sanqing Mountain on the right side of Long, not only did not accept the salt sent by Xue Pan for sale, but also withheld all the salt sent by the Xue family, but did not kill anyone, and drove out all the members of the Xue family.

This is strange, you must know that this northwest land, the land is sparsely populated, the transportation is inconvenient, so the trade is not very convenient, the salt merchants can carry a lot of goods back and forth and the tribe exchange transactions, there is no tribe that does not welcome merchants, especially the salt merchants who can also provide the indispensable salt every day, according to the reason will not refuse.

And the Xue family has the identity of the government, the collusion between officials and businessmen, cough cough, no, it is the cooperation of the government and business, the Xue family business name salt merchant also has some officialdom status, as long as it is sent to the local government with a piece of seal, the government will immediately help, the Xue family as the imperial merchant family, Xue Pan as the real power of the Beijing official (this is his shameless self-proclaimed statement), this privilege is still there.

Why did this unknown tribe dare to isolate itself from the Great Yue Dynasty and from this trade and trade in such a way? It's really a little confusing, the steward is sitting in Jingzhao Mansion, and he can't say anything when he writes back, because he is not in Longyou.

Longyou's words, Xue Pan thought about this place, maybe it was close to the Qiang people, or was it Turkic? This is all unclear, after all, there are many tribes in the northwest, even if they see what clothes they are wearing, they can't figure out who they are.

You can't let yourself go, can you? Xue Pan sighed, he instructed Steward Zhang, "Hand the piece to the Suzhou Jiedu envoy, ask him to help him tell me what is going on, if our people offend the chieftain of the tribe or something, if they ask for some gold and silver, it is nothing more than to give yes, and make money with harmony, the business road here in Longyou cannot have any losses, and we must continue to keep it smooth." ”

Nowadays, although the maritime Silk Road is smooth, many goods are sold all over the world through the sea, but there are still many countries in Central Asia and South Asia that do not have sea routes, and they still need the land Silk Road to buy Chinese goods, and the rest of the Xue family is also doing things by sea, but in the end, it is the land of Jinling, not by the sea, and most of the Xue family's fleet is used for rent, and they do not have much business to sell goods directly. It is to borrow the salt to open the market in the northwest with the marketing of the world, to market the Xue family's satin to the northwest, and then get back the goods that the Xue family needs in the northwest, and the salt will make a steady profit, there is no problem with this, Xue Pan hopes that other businesses will also take advantage of this east wind to become popular, it is impossible to take this salt for a lifetime, in a limited few years, borrow chickens and eggs, and be able to move other businesses, which is the best.

Therefore, the business in the northwest is not entirely a salt business, and the rest of the Xue family's industries have also brought a lot of things up, and I don't know what's going on.

Steward Zhang agreed, "A letter came from the south, saying that Mrs. Sanfang's health is not too good, saying that she wants to go to Beijing to take a look, there are more famous doctors here, and there is also a hospital." ”

"What's this?" Xue Pan hurriedly said, "Ask the family to arrange the car and boat, and take advantage of the fact that the weather is still warm now, and hurry up to enter the Beijing Zhongzhong Good Student to have a look." ”

Steward Zhang went down to convey the order, and after a while, Wang Kaiyun Shi Ran came over, "Wenlong, there is good news now, you are about to get your wish." ”

Xue Pan raised his eyebrows, "What does Master Wang mean, is there another bad news?" ”

"There is indeed bad news," Wang Kaiyun said with a smile, "which one does Wenlong want to hear?" ”
